Dubai T100 moves to Al Mamzar for the first time

More than 2,000 athletes have registered for the November triathlon weekend in Al Mamzar; spectators will be admitted free of charge.

The third Dubai T100 Triathlon Weekend is scheduled for 13–15 November 2026. For the first time, the entire race weekend will take place at Al Mamzar. According to a 24 September report by the Emirates News Agency, more than 2,000 athletes representing 57 nationalities have registered. These are registration figures for a future event, not a count of people who have already attended.

The programme combines professional racing with amateur distances. An Olympic-distance event will be offered to amateurs for the first time, with a 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike ride and 10 km run. Sprint and relay events and the T100 distance are also planned. Organisers expect leading female professional triathletes, although the final field has not yet been announced. Entry for spectators at Al Mamzar will be free throughout the weekend. The event is part of the Dubai Fitness Challenge, scheduled from 31 October to 29 November this year.

For residents and property buyers, the event illustrates how Dubai uses its coastal public spaces for major city gatherings. If you live nearby or plan to visit during the race, check routes and any temporary traffic restrictions with the organisers in advance. The venue, dates and format have been announced; the event does not imply permanent infrastructure changes or a rise in local property values.
